Green Hab Report  – Sol 5
Report written by: Victoria DA-POIAN (Crew Biologist)

Date : 02/17/2017

Functionality: The heater in the green hab is working well. Today was a very cloudy and windy day ! As I was in EVA this morning, Louis Maller has checked the temperature in the GreenHab this morning. It was around 24 Celsius degrees around 9:40 AM while the temperature in the tunnel was around 10.4 Celsius degrees. He switched on the cooler (on step 1) and the GreenHab temperature was 20 Celsius degrees at 4:00PM while it was 14 Celsius degrees in the tunnel. I switched the cooler off. Louis Maller watered the seedlings this morning, and I did this afternoon too.

Status: The existing seedlings in the green hab are continuing to grow well. There are spinach, lettuce, radish, and beans growing very well in the small pots.

The lettuces are growing well too.

The Vegidair has been installed yesterday and is functionning well.

Planned activity: I have checked my new plants (planted yesterday) , the ones I want to compare with the ones I have in the Vegidair.

Thanks,

Victoria
